International audiencePeople who are not able to phonate, temporarily or definitively, need a speech-aid solution to continue interacting and communicating. The loss of voice is very disabling and it can prevent any form of socialization. This is especially true for laryngectomee. The partial or total surgical removal of the larynx prevents the use of the phonatory source. Apart from the voice-prosthesis solution, an invasive and not always successful one, the common commercial solution is to use an electronic speech-aid device or electrolarynx (for instance The TruToneTM electrolarynx designed by Griffin Laboratories). Such device is an electromechanical actuator producing a buzzer-like sound. It is generally placed on the neck of the pati...
